With her FAQ, Ocasio-Cortez has inadvertently exposed the neo-socialist lie that you can get something for nothing. The Democratic Party's embrace of that lie is going to get President Trump re-elected

Marc Thiessen: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘Green New Deal’ accidentally exposes the left’s big lie

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's now infamous talking points on the Green New Deal are the most unintentionally honest explanation of the neo-socialism now gripping the Democratic Party. Too honest, apparently. After her office sent the "FAQ" to NPR, The Washington Post and other news organizations, and posted a similar version on her congressional website, they were met with withering criticism -- prompting Ocasio-Cortez to furiously backtrack, seeking to disown and discredit documents her office had produced, posted and distributed. Sorry, you don't get to do that. Ocasio-Cortez told us what is really behind her Green New Deal. Now she, and the Democrats who endorsed her plan, have to live with it.

Ocasio-Cortez has been pilloried for her plan to "get rid of farting cows and airplanes," upgrade or replace "every building in America," replace "every combustible-engine vehicle" and provide "economic security" for people "unwilling to work" -- and rightly so. The old five-year plans of the former Soviet Union are modest, by comparison, in their pursuit of full socialism.

Yet the big untold story is her admission that all of this cannot be paid for simply by taxing the rich. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is campaigning for president on a wealth tax, while Ocasio-Cortez has proposed 70 percent marginal tax rates on wealthy Americans. The message is clear: We'll soak the millionaires and billionaires and mega-rich corporations so we can give you free stuff.


Now what are you going to do with this mess??

Newly-minted Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., introduced the deal in the House and Senator Ed Markey, D-Mass., introduced it in the Senate. It has also been endorsed by top 2020 contenders including, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, and Bernie Sanders and requires a government-led overhaul in order to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. However Hubbard said the plan actually works against efforts to help the environment.

The Dean of the Columbia University School of Business, Glenn Hubbard, said Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal doesn’t make fiscal sense and is dead on arrival.

“The Green New Deal isn’t just about the environment. It’s a fundamental remaking of the American economy at a cost of almost one-third of GDP,” he told Gerry Baker on “WSJ at Large,” on Friday. “The United States isn’t going to do that… It is simply not possible.”

Actually 104, the world will end by nuclear bombs and your boy will be responsible. But as I said, keep drinking the kool-aid and burying your head in the sand.
And I have to ask, are you as blindsided as you come across or is it all an act??
I can just hear smallheadman saying to Noah, now listen noeee the world will not end with water falling out of the sky like you think, you have been drinking too much fruit of the vine my boy, but you can keep on nailing those timbers together, your kids can play on them. And Noah said to Smallheadman wonder why your head never grew along with the rest of your body. Oh I just remembered if you don't use it you lose it. Oh well to each his own.

104, you're a special kind of

You just can't do anything with plain ole common horse sense can you?? I am sure Noah wondered just what was clogging up the people's minds while he worked on the Ark. He tried to talk to them about the coming judgment, and about their need to prepare, but they just laughed and went on their way. Until someone came running in and said that drops of water was falling from the sky.

Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

Luke 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

It is the leftist, liberal, socialist democrat's problem. Some want big business so they can tax them to get money for all the entitlements they have to keep up to get votes. Some want to wipe out all business so we can go back to the days of walking every where we need to go, and living in a dugout, course they still want your votes so they can still boss you around, and tell you where you can dig your toilet hole for your outhouse. Well it is their problem, maybe they will fight it out and destroy each other, now that will do more for the nation than anything else they can do.

Not one of these people that are pushing the green deal would be willing to go back to the horse and buggy days, not one of the them would ride a train instead of flying must less regular seats, not one of them would give up any of the perks they enjoy. even the lobbyist will not stand in line themselves. as cortez figures out how things work she will be one of the biggest capitalist in washington

Years ago I worked for a company out of Charlotte. They insisted that I drive to Charlotte to catch a flight to Atlanta because they had a corporate deal. It was the dumbest thing and it took me the longest time to convince the travel group that it was . At the time I was closer to Atlanta than Charlotte.

From Wilkesboro to Charlotte is what about 1.25 hours or so, get to the airport 2 hours early, catch your 1.25 hour flight, get your bags, rental car, drive to hotel, you are invested time is already about 6 hours at that point and that's if everything goes smoothly.

And if we improved our rail system you could cut that 10 hours to 5-6 hours on a train.

Because a one hour flight beats the heck out of driving 12 to 14 hours to Florida
